The New Mass is the Abomination of Desolation – and the Four
Vatican II Antipopes parallel the Four False High Priests at the time
of the Abomination of Desolation in the Machabees

Introductory Note: This
article was originally published in the year 2000. (It has been
slightly edited for the internet and we have added numerous things
since then). Recent developments, including John Paul II recently
being struck so that he could not speak a word or give order
concerning the Vatican, and then dying almost immediately after this
event in great torment, have proven that this article paralleling the
Four False High Priests at the time of the Abomination of Desolation
in the Machabees with the Four Vatican II Antipopes was accurate and
correct.

1
Machabees 9:55 “At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works
were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a
palsy,so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order
concerning his house. And Alcimus died at that time in great
torment.”

John
Paul II was struck so that he could not speak a word and then died in
great torment, just like Alcimus

AARON
BROWN, CNN ANCHOR, April 5, 2005: “… The
pope's doctor gave an interview to an Italian newspaper. In
that interview he said, quote, "The pope passed away slowly,
with pain and sufferingwhich he endured with
great human dignity." And then the doctor
added that for the last couple of days, the pope was in fact unable
to speak at all.”

Internal Vatican sources
have also confirmed that John Paul II actually died on April 1, not
April 2; but that John Paul II’s death on April 1 “could
not be announced because considerable work had to be done to make
the body (the face in particular) presentable due to the agony”
of John Paul II’s “final sufferings.” (Remnant
report.) This is more striking confirmation of the amazing parallels
between the four false High Priests of the Machabees and the four
Vatican II Antipopes.

[NOTE:
Interesting new quote on Lysimachus. To go to it click on the above
table and go seven paragraphs up.]

Recently [in 1999], a
Biblical Scholar shared some of the insights and discoveries that he
has made over the past 30 years. This article is a collection of what
is, in our opinion, some of his most interesting information. Much of
what is contained in this article is the fruit of his over 30 years
of study. However, out of respect for his request, his name remain
anonymous.

In the New Testament Our
Lord Jesus, in response to the very explicit question “Tell us,
when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming,
and of the end of the world?” (Matt. 24:3), gives very explicit
answers, contained in what are referred to as the eschatological
discourses. Now we hold that some of the forms of our sacraments were
given by Christ to the apostles generally, and others “in
specie.” In the same way, it is possible that the signs Jesus
enumerates are “general,” but it is also possible that
one or more of the “signs” are absolutely “specific”
in nature.

One of the signs is in Matt
24:15, with the parallel passage in Mark 13:14, “When you
therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, which was
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that
readeth, let him understand” is deserving of extreme scrutiny.

Firstly, several conclusions
are inescapable:

1. Christ is confirming and
certifying Daniel as an authentic prophet.

2. Christ is telling one, if
one thinks one is in the last days, to read canonical Daniel which
for the Catholic includes what the Protestants exclude and refer to
as the “additions to Daniel.”

3. The “the
abomination of desolation” (whatever that is for the moment),
is an end time sign, and capable of being seen, and it will stand in
the “Holy Place” (for the moment, wherever that is.)

4. Unless we take Our Lord’s
statement as unnecessary, the abomination of desolation is a defined
thing; otherwise you would have Jesus telling us to look for
something that we can’t find. Therefore, what precisely we are
to look for, the “abomination of desolation,” must
absolutely be knowable, or if it were not, the statement would
minimally be unnecessary. And that can’t be the case. In the
divine economy, God would not possibly tell us to watch or look for
something that we can’t find.

5. The nativity stories of
Matthew and Luke each relate facts and events that are not in
evidence in the others Gospel. In the same way it would be a
mistake to take Christ’s statement “spoken of by
Daniel the prophet” as a limiting one; i.e., that the only
statements in Sacred Scripture relating to or permitting us to
identify the “abomination of desolation” are contained in
Daniel.

6. It is known that the
term “abomination of desolation” appears in 1 and 2
Machabees, which are in the Catholic
Bible. It is known, and has always been held by the Fathers,
that Daniel who was carried away in the deportations that preceded
Jerusalem’s fall to the Babylonians c. 585 B.C., prophesied the
“abomination of desolation” that occurred during the
apostasy of the Jews and their hierarchy that began in reality with
the ascension to the throne of Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 175 B.C.,
and which is recorded in the books of the Machabees. While the
command of Christ to read Daniel is explicit, I would state that
in light of the foregoing it is implicit that Christ is admonishing
us to read the Machabees for the selfsame reasons we are told
to read Daniel.

7. It is inescapable from
the previous statement that Christ is telling us that Daniel
prophesied at least two time periods that would contain the
“abomination of desolation”: one at the time of the
Machabees; and one in the very last days. I say at least two because
there are those that argue that there was a third (by no means
certain) at the time of the 1st Jewish revolt 66 A.D.- 73 A.D.; but
that time is not reported in Sacred Scripture whereas the other, the
Machabees, is recorded in Scripture.

8. The next statement
relates to “he that readeth, let him understand” (Mark
13:12; Matt 24:15). What does Christ mean by this?

Our statements in this
regard can’t be as certain as those that have preceded them.
The super majority opinion of Catholic exegetes (those who interpret
scripture) over time would, I think, be described as follows:

Christ is telling the
reader to look for a hidden fulfillment or replication of the 1st
time of the “abomination of desolation.” The end time
“abomination” will not replicate exactly the prior one in
every respect, but will so substantially resemble the first one as to
be recognizable to those who are looking with eyes of FAITH.

9. The 1st “abomination
of desolation” comes in a certain context described among other
places in 1 and 2 Machabees; but it is also described by Josephus,
whose works contain extensive material on the time of the Machabees.
It would be a mistake to take Jesus’ statement to read Daniel
(explicit), and Machabees (implicit) as limited to reading the
material only for references to what the “abomination of
desolation” is, rather than the entirety of events, persons,
etc. that describe the context of the 1st abomination, in order to
recognize the 2nd at the time of the end.

10. As to the “standing
in the Holy Place” or the parallel passage in Mark, “standing
where it ought not,” we will hold this for later. But I
think the answer will be self evident.

As for the period of the
Machabees (implicit), I would recommend to the reader that he read 1
and 2 Machabees, together with all the footnotes in the Challoner
Douay-Rheims Bible, 1 and 2 Machabees in the Jerusalem and/or the New
Jerusalem Bible together with all the notes, the commentary on the
Machabees in the Jerome Biblical Commentary, the two volumes on the
Machabees in the Anchor Bible series. Drawing on that material I
think I can make the following statements:

The “Abomination of
Desolation” is an OBJECT: a 2nd altar ERECTED “upon”
(1 Macc 1:57) and “over against” (1 Macc 1:62)
the altar of God, in the Jewish temple, as an integral part of a
false and idolatrous worshipformintroduced in
substitution of the true sacrifice, at a general time of apostasy of
Jewry from their received faith.

From the adjectives “UPON”
and “OVER AGAINST” that are used to describe the
placement of the idolatrous 2nd altar, in relation to the true altar,
we can discern several things: the shape of the true altar could
not simply be horizontal, i.e., a “slab” because then the
2nd altar would have simply been placed “UPON” the
original. The words “OVER AGAINST” are the scriptural way
of describing two objects being brought in proximity vertically to
one another. Simply put, the “shape” of the 1st altar
(the true altar) must have been such that the false altar could be
said to be placed both “UPON” (horizontal) and “OVER
AGAINST” (in proximity to, on a vertical basis) the original
altar.

See the picture below for an
illustration.

Some modern texts do not
capture or translate the words “upon” and “over
against” properly. In this case we believe that Bishop
Challoner (whose translation of the Douay-Rheims Bible is used by
most English-speaking Catholics) has correctly translated St.
Jerome’s supra “upon” and his contra
“over against.”

One possible example of the
cross sectional shape of the true 1st altar would be a capital “L.”
If one erected a free standing “TABLE” on the
horizontal line of the capital “L” (the original altar)
the table could correctly be said to be “UPON” the
original altar and also “OVER AGAINST” the original
altar, because the original altar has a “VERTICAL” aspect
(the vertical line of the capital “L”) which the
“TABLE’S” (second altar) vertical aspect is in
proximity to.

To carry the analogy a bit
further, the typical cross-sectional pre-conciliar Roman Rite altar
could be described as the original capital “L” of our
example, with a few further modifications: the bottom horizontal line
of the “L” is very long and we add to the top of the
vertical line of the “L” a horizontal “CAP”
or line. Why so? The horizontal “CAP” of the vertical
line of the capital “L” is the area on which rests
(rested) the tabernacle, and on which the priest offered the unbloody
sacrifice, and the vertical line of the “L” is the
leading vertical edge of that part of the “ALTAR.” But
where does the long horizontal line of the capital “L”
come from?

In the Roman Rite, the
“altar rail” separates the altar from the rest of the
Church. When you step on the other side of the altar rail, you are
literally on the altar. The “iconostasis” (icon screen
separating altar from main body of church) in the Oriental rites of
the Church is functionally performing exactly the same function in
the “EAST” as the altar rail did in the “WEST,”
that is, separating the altar from the rest of the Church. Further
proof that the area between the altar rail and vertical leading edge
of the “altar” is also the “altar”: when
someone comes to the rectory inquiring over the whereabouts of Father
“X”, some of us reply, “he’s on the altar”!
Now is he standing on the horizontal plane on which the tabernacle
rests? Obviously not. But nonetheless, we say “he’s on
the altar” because he is in fact standing in the aforementioned
area set apart by the altar rail.

Now, if as part of a new
cult and worship form you erect a “table” (read 2nd
altar) between the vertical edge of the original altar and the altar
rail, for the 1st and only time in Catholic history, you will have
replicated the abomination of desolation in the Machabees; for
the Table in the Novus Ordo is directly “upon” (1 Macc
1:57) the true Roman Rite altar because it sits on top of the
horizontal plane of the altar, and “over against” (1 Macc
1:62) the true Roman Rite altar because the table stands in proximity
to the vertical aspect of the altar.

Returning to the Machabees:
we are told that the time period of the persecution and apostasy
began with the commencement of the reign of Antiochus “in the
year 137” B.C. (1 Macc 1:11). We know from Babylonian archival
material that Antiochus began to reign “in the sixth month”
of the Seleucid year 137. The persecution period ended with the death
of Simon, the last of five sons (the Machabees) of the priest of
Modin, “in the 11th month of the year 177” (1 Macc
16:14). So the period of persecution lasted some 40 years and five
months. It is worthy of note, I think, to mention at this point, that
Christ in the eschatological discourse says: “This generation
will not pass away.....” A biblical generation is known to be
reckoned as being 40 years long. Anyone familiar with the existing
material (which material is clearly pre-Christian) of the Essene sect
of the Jews knows that the material speaks constantly of the last
battle in the history of the world being 40 years long.

In a prophecy about the last
days, Saint Bridget of Sweden, known to have the prophetic
charism, states that the last battle in the history of the world will
be forty years long. Further, she makes the following incredible
prophesy:

“In
the year 1980
the wicked will prevail. They will sacrilegiously profane and defile
the churches by erecting in them altars to idols and to Anti-Christ,
whom they will worship and attempt to force others to do the same.”
[1]

I wonder what that could be?
Whatever it is, it is now in our past. (Idolatry includes any worship
of God that is inauthentic.) Of note is the fact that my “Catholic”
Almanac reports that the “Apostolic Constitution” on the
Novus Ordo Missae was signed by Paul VI on April 3, 1969 (which was
Passover in that year) and that the Novus Ordo was made mandatory
in its final form on December 1st, 1974. Now our current
reckoning has a strange anomaly; there is no year -0-. We proceed
directly and immediately from December 31st, 1 B.C. to January 1st, 1
A.D. This is to say that B.C. events are 1 year less removed from us
than the sum total of the two integers. The majority opinion on the
year of Christ’s birth is that it occurred 2 to 3 years prior
to Herod the Great’s death. Herod’s death date is one of
the most certain in all of antiquity, owing to Josephus who states
that it took place in the 36th year of Herod’s reign,
contemporaneously (at the same time) with a lunar eclipse visible
from Jerusalem, which event was followed closely by a Passover. The
date of that eclipse and Herod’s death is Tuesday March 13th 4
B.C. at about 1:28 A.M. (Julian Calendar). Further, the triple
conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the constellation of Pisces in 7
B.C. is understood by the majority of the scholarly community to meet
Matthew’s account of the “star” of Bethlehem. This
would place the 1980th anniversary of the NATIVITY in our year 1974
A.D. Interesting....minimally for some of us who still have
regard for private revelation.

For those into detail,
the evidence is that “Dennis the little” who is
responsible for giving us our present year reckoning, intended to
make year 1 of the Christian era the first full year following the
year that saw the event of the Nativity of Christ. If the year 7 B.C.
was the year that indeed contained the event of the Nativity, 6 B.C.
would be the year that Dennis intended (although he didn’t
accomplish it) to be year 1, and December 31st 1974 would be the end
of the year of Christ 1980. There are some versions of the
aforementioned prophecy of Saint Bridget that start, “In the
year of Christ 1980...” as though Saint Bridget were drawing a
distinction between the true year 1980 and our year 1980, which are
not the same.

But, returning to the period
of the Machabees, the Jews become tired of being set apart and desire
to be like the pagans around them. While having religious liberty
from their pagan overlords, they willingly forfeit that liberty and
ask to be made a pagan city complete with idolatrous worship. We
are talking about what is called religious syncretism. “Jews
themselves were in the forefront of the syncretism.” “They
changed their constitution which constituted an abandonment of
their covenant with Yahweh.” “The Holy of Holies
ceased being a CENTRAL part of Jewish worship.” The
Holy of Holies, by the way, was known to be associated with the
Divine presence, known as the Shekinah, which Divine presence was
almost sacramental in nature. Similarly, our tabernacles, which
contained the Divine presence in a sacramental manner, were, in the
post-Vatican II period, removed from their central locations on
our altars. In many cases they were moved to the side, and some
were even placed in the sacristy.

“At
no time in Jewish history were women involved in Jewish liturgical
practices except at the time of the ‘Abomination of
Desolation’; and then they were all over the altar”
(commentary on 2 Mac. 6:4).

“…And
women thrust themselves of their own accord into the holy places,
and brought in things that were not lawful. The altar was also filled
with unlawful things, which were forbidden by the laws. And neither
were…the solemn days of the fathers observed…” (2
Mac 6:4)

The renegade or apostate
Jews fortified and occupied the City of David in Jerusalem which they
made their citadel, or ACRA. “The City of David at the time of
the Machabees was known to occupy THE LARGE WESTERN HILL.”
Because this is a central point, I would refer the reader to confirm
this for himself in either the Jerusalem or the New Jerusalem Bible,
both of which contain footnotes on the city of David.

“The
district called at that time the City of David occupied Jerusalem’s
western hill.”[2]

The adjective “Large”
for the western hill appears in the more extensive commentaries on
the subject.

Now the Fathers held that
the possibility exists that the fact that there are various texts of
some of the books of the Bible may indeed be a product of Divine
providence. The book of Daniel comes down to us in two forms, the
Greek and Masoretic or Hebrew. They are not identical. The Masoretic
text of Daniel 9:27 has a critical difference between that of the
Greek. It states that the “Abomination of Desolation”
will be on a “wing of the temple.”

“And on the wing
of the Temple will be the disastrous abomination” (Dan. 9:27,
Jerusalem Bible; also see the note on this verse in the Haydock
Bible).

Now, St. Hilary, doctor of
the Church, discourses on 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and the
Antichrist. He states that the “Temple of God” (2
Thessalonians 2:4) is clearly the Church. But what about the “WING”?
Could it be that the “Abomination of Desolation,”
which will be seen in the Church, will only be in a portion of the
Church, the “New Jerusalem”, and if so what portion?

The word “WING”
was used by the ancients in much the same way as we use it: the west
WING of a hospital, for example. Only one scriptural citation is
necessary to prove the point: “....and the right WING of his
army with them” (1 Machabees 9:1).

Now the renegade and
apostate Jews made the City of David, which occupied the LARGE
WESTERN HILL in Jerusalem, their Citadel.

Isn’t
it interesting that the New Mass, which has a table, a 2nd altar as
an integral part of its worship, is only present in the Roman Rite,
which isthe large western portion (fully
98%)of Catholicism,
as distinct from the Eastern or Oriental WING, which still uses its
old sacramental forms, including the MASS, and no new 2nd altar!

Four
False High Priests, Four False Popes?

What about the Jewish
Hierarchy at the time of the Machabees? Onius III is the last
apparent and VALID high priest at the time of the apostasy. He is
succeeded by his brother, Jason, who procures the office of
the High Priesthood by fraud (2 Macc 4:6-8), and who begins the
religious syncretism (2 Macc 4:9-13). He is known,
according to the author of the two volume series on the Machabees
(Anchor Bible), as the equivalent of “King Johnny.”
He also introduces the wearing of the “broad brimmed
petasos” (a hat). The author of 2 Machabees (remember
inspiration and inerrancy) says that Jason was “an impious
wretch and no priest” (2 Macc 4:13). Jason is followed by
Menelaus who also acquires the High Priesthood by fraud (2 Macc
4:23-25). Moreover, Menelaus introduces the “imposed cult,”
a false sacrifice, with the assistance of the secular arm King
Antiochus, who enforces the false sacrifice. Therefore, the second
false High Priest of the four, Menelaus, imposes the false
sacrifice. And, as the reader should know, it was Paul VI,
the second Vatican II Antipope, who instituted the New Mass (a
false sacrifice). Menelaus is succeeded by his brother,
Lysimachus, who reigns very briefly and dies a violent death:
“and as for the sacrilegious fellow, they slew him beside the
treasury” (2 Macc 4:42). Some translations say: “they
slew him over the treasury.”

Warren
H. Carroll, The Founding of Christendom,
p. 236: “He sent his brother Lysimachus
to take enough treasury from the Temple in Jerusalem
to make up what was lacking, and the
people of Jerusalem rose up and killed Lysimachus.”
(Christendom Press, 1985)

Anyone who has read the book
In God’s Name by David Yallop (on the death of John Paul
I) knows that the entire book on the death of John Paul I is about
the Vatican treasury. The author presents a compelling case that John
Paul I, the third Vatican II Antipope, was killed precisely
because he may have wanted to give away money from the Vatican
treasury which caused a great problem for certain individuals.
The parallel to Lysicmachus (the third false high priest at
the time of the Abomination of Desolation in the Machabees) is
startling.

After Lysimachus’
death, Menelaus resumes his “priesthood,” but is
ultimately slain (2 Macc 13:7). He is said to be a “sacrilegious
wretch,” a “transgressor of the law” (2 Macc
13:6-7). “He had committed many sins against the Altar of God”
(2 Macc 13:8).

The last of these four false
High Priests is Alcimus, who in some respects is the most
dangerous of the lot because his act is the best. He obtains the
appointment as reported in 2 Macc 14:3-4; but he had “willfully
defiled himself in the time of the mingling with the heathens,
seeing that there was no safety for him, nor access to the altar”
(2 Macc 14:3). Bishop Challoner, who is famous for his scriptural
notes, states that Alcimus, “for his apostasy here
mentioned, was incapable of the High Priesthood....as Menelaus had
been before him....yet neither of them was truly High
Priest....mingling with heathens, that is, in their idolatrous
worship” (2 Macc. 14:3, Douay-Rheims note).

Alcimus is an apostate, one
of the renegade Jews. “And there came to him the wicked and
ungodly men of Israel: and Alcimus was at the head of them, who
desired to be made high priest” (1 Macc 7:5). He is at the HEAD
of the wicked and ungodly of Israel, and procures the office from the
hand of DEMETRIUS, an office which he cannot hold because of his
apostasy. I said that he was the best act of the lot. The author of
the Anchor Bible Series reports that he has the people of
Israel so “conned,” that he is referred to by them as
“Alcimus the Pious.”

It
is not my intention to write a commentary on the Machabees, but
merely to point out certain parallels with our own age. The
syncretism begins with the election of Angelo Roncalli, who takes the
name John XXIII.
He reports, after his election, and with sarcasm, that his file has
been marked “suspected modernist,” as though this were a
big joke. Pope Saint Pius X calls Modernism “The Synthesis of
All Heresies.” In the magazine, 30
Days,
several years ago, the head of the Italian Freemasons proclaimed that
John XXIII was one of their number, an active member! The Grand
Master of the Grand Orient of Italy stated: “As for that, it
seems that John XXIII was initiated (into a Masonic Lodge) in Paris
and participated in the work of the Istanbul Workshops.” [3]
I have also seen a sworn affidavit of one of “Cardinal”
Roncalli’s (John XXIII’s) French Government body guards,
assigned to protect him during the years when he was in France in an
official Vatican capacity. He swears that he escorted Roncalli to the
Masonic Lodge with great frequency. Now I ask, how does someone who
is outside the community (membership in Freemasonry is the subject of
automatic major excommunication) HEAD THE COMMUNITY? This is a
contradiction in terms.

It may be mere
coincidence, but just as Jason (1st false High Priest in the
Machabees), nicknamed “King Johnny” (from commentary on
Anchor Bible series) introduced the wearing of the broad brimmed hat,
does anyone remember John XXIII and the “sombrero” hat he
started wearing?

The Abomination of

In the first abomination,
starting with Jason, none of these men were true High Priests (2
Macc. 4:13). They obtained the office by fraud and/or were incapable
of the High Priesthood due to their apostasy (2 Macc. 14:3,
Douay-Rheims note). Similarly, the four mentioned “popes”
of the current apostasy obtained their office by fraud and are
incapable of the High Priesthood (pontificate) due to their public
heresy and apostasy (Canon 188.4, 1917 Code of Canon Law). They are
Antipopes. It is interesting to note that Pope Boniface II, in 531,
refers to Popes as “high priests of the Apostolic See.”
(Denz. 200b)

In the same scriptural note
(2 Macc. 14:3), Challoner explains how the true High Priesthood lay
with the Machabees: “...the true high priesthood was amongst
the Machabees, who were also of the stock of Aaron, and had strictly
held their religion, and were ordained according to the rites
commanded in the laws of Moses.” The Machabees held
strictly to the traditional faith, and ordained men according to the
Traditional Rite.

Likewise the true Priesthood
exists in those who hold fast to the religion that has been delivered
to them, and ordain and consecrate according to the Traditional Rite.
Those who have retained the traditional rituals, but yet do not
retain the traditional faith or are associated with the abominable
Vatican II/New Order Church, do not possess the true faith.

Marie Julie Jahenny, the
famous Briton stigmatist, heard Satan say to Christ, “For a
time I will be Master of all things, everything will be under my
control, even your temple and all your people.” A few
further excerpts from Marie, “and will continue implacably to
obtain the cessation of Holy Mass...” On March 29, 1879: “the
abandoned Church will be without its Supreme Head who governs and
directs it.”

On May 10, 1904, Marie Julie
Jahenny was told: “I give you a warning. The disciples who are
not of My Gospel are now working hard to remake according to their
ideas, and under the influence of the enemy of souls, a Massthat contains words which are odious in My Sight. When the
fatal hour arrives where the Faith of my priest is put to the test,
it will be these texts that will be celebrated, in the second period.
The first period is the one of my priesthood, existing since me. The
second is the one of the persecution, when the enemies of the
Faith and of the holy religion will impose their formulas in the book
of the second celebration. Many of my holy priests will refuse
this book, sealed with the words of the abyss. Unfortunately,
amongst them are those who will accept it.” On the same day she
was told: “the dispersion of the pastors...who will be replaced
by others, formed by hell, initiated in all vices, all iniquities,
perfidious,....new preachers of new sacraments, new temples....”

The New Mass is
without question the Abomination of Desolation predicted by Our Lord
as one of the primary signs of the end of the world.

ALL THE
WORLD IS MADE MAD WITH THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF HER FORNICATION

The whore of Babylon sits on
seven hills. Biblical exegetes generally states that it is ROME, “the
great city” of the Apocalypse.

“In
the Apocalypse, Babylon is used figuratively for Rome, a city of
idolatrous cults, dissolute vices and political oppression.”[4]

Saint Peter himself, writing
in his first epistle, refers to Rome by its code name, Babylon.

“The
Church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you:
and so doth my son Mark.” (1 Peter 5:13)

Saint Peter is writing from
Rome, yet he calls it Babylon. He does this to identify what
Ecclesiastical Rome will become at the time of the end, a whore –
who has abandoned the faith of Christ, and fornicated with false gods
and idolatrous worship, just as the true Church of the Old Testament
was called a “whore” for partaking in inauthentic
worship. (The true Catholic Church, in Her official teaching, remains
immaculate, and will remain immaculate forever, for it is the one and
only true Church, the Church established by Jesus Christ. It is the
Vatican II sect that is a whore.) Moreover, fornication in Sacred
Scripture is used almost exclusively for spiritual fornication: the
chasing after false gods, idolatrous worship. Now the part of the
consecration that has been changed in a false and heretical manner is
the WINE portion of the consecration. The New Mass has changed
the words of Jesus Christ in the consecration of the wine from:

“This
is the Chalice of My Blood, of the New and Eternal Testament: the
mystery of faith, which shall be shed for you and for many
unto the remission of sins”

into…

“This
is the chalice of my blood, of the new and eternal testament: which
shall be shed for you and for all so that
sins may be forgiven”

However, because one cannot
consecrate one species without the other (Saint Thomas Aquinas), the
inauthentic wine portion invalidates both species. It is not an
accident that the Apocalypse, in speaking of the whore of Babylon,
states repeatedly, “all the world is made mad with the WINE
of the wrath of her fornication.”

Apocalypse
18:3 "Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have
committed fornication with her."

Apocalypse
14:8 "And another angel followed, saying: That great Babylon is
fallen, is fallen; which made all nations drink of the
wine of the wrath of her fornication."

Apocalypse
16:19 "And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give
her the cup of the wine of the indignation of
His wrath."

Apocalypse
17:1-2 "Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the great
harlot, who sitteth upon many waters. With whom the kings of the
earth have committed fornication; and they who inhabit the earth,
have been made drunk with the wine of her whoredom."

The Vatican II Church has
committed spiritual fornication, typified by the inauthentic worship
that characterizes the sacrilegious and false New Mass. Moreover, the
heads of the Vatican II Church have prayed and mingled with every
false creed on the face of the planet; and, as a result, they commit
a sin that is most offensive to God and a violation of the first
commandment. It was in order to avoid this sin that (approximately)
the first 30 popes suffered cruel martyrdoms. It was in order to
avoid this sin that heroic young girls, like Saint Philomena, endured
the most hideous of tortures and millions of Christians were hung and
beheaded – the sin of praying with false religions and paying
homage to false gods. As a result of this spiritual fornication
(e.g., false ecumenism), the Vatican II Church is guilty of the blood
of the saints. Read the word of God about the whore of Babylon:

“And
in her was found the blood of the prophets and of saints, and of all
that were slain upon the earth.” (Apoc. 18:24)

To the extent that Rome
loses the faith, and hence by definition allies herself or indeed
becomes the enemy of the true Church, it becomes guilty of the blood
of the very prophets and saints of the true Church of all time. Just
as Our Lord was placed in the hands of His enemies during His
Passion, Our Lord allows the buildings and infrastructure of His
Church to be placed in the hands of its enemies during its passion.

On
June 30, 1968, the Vatican II sect adopts a new
ritual for ordaining priests, as
well as a new manner of consecrating
bishops, “The fullness of
orders.” The new manner is essentially and materially an
Anglican ritual, which ritual (the Anglican ritual) was declared by
Pope Leo XIII, to not confect the Sacrament of Orders. I am reminded
of the “Testimony of Moses” which contains the following
line: “in the last days there will be slaves about my altar who
are not true priests but slaves.....” We have seen the fruits
of their fraudulent “Orders”: pedophiles, homosexuals,
and lecherous men, among other things.

Daniel
gives the date of the New Mass

Christ and the Mass are
inextricably linked. And the prophet Daniel’s prophecy is bound
up with the “going forth” of the word, as we will see. So
we must ask: when is the “going forth” of the word in the
New Testament? Christ’s commands at the Ascension are for the
Apostles to begin first at Jerusalem, then Judea and Samaria, then
the rest of the world. St. Paul is truly the apostle of the Gentiles.
The “going forth” of the Faith out of Jerusalem and
Judea starts in reality with St. Paul’s conversion. At the
time of St. Stephen’s martyrdom, there is a general persecution
and dispersal except for the Apostles who remain at Jerusalem.

Acts
8:1 “And at that time there was raised a great persecution
against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all
dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except
the apostles.”

Why? It is because the
“going forth” to the balance of the world awaits St.
Paul’s conversion. But when does St. Paul’s ministry
start? It could only start with the event of his conversion. Prior to
that he has aligned himself with the enemy. The internal evidence of
Acts and the Pauline epistles places the martyrdom of St. Stephen in
the winter of 36/37 A.D – that is, between the winter
solstice of 36 A.D. and the spring equinox of 37 A.D.

Many theologians believe
that St. Stephen’s martyrdom and prayer was the efficient cause
of St. Paul’s conversion. His conversion is said (unanimously)
to have occurred very shortly after the death of St. Stephen in 37
A.D.

“It
is believed that he (St. Stephen) won the grace of conversion for the
vehement Saul, who was among those responsible for the death of the
first martyr (Acts 22, 20; 7, 60). His death was followed by a
persecution of the Church at Jerusalem, and the Christians were
dispersed.” [7]

Now the prophet Daniel
speaks of the death or “cutting off” of the Messiah and
the “cessation of the daily sacrifice” of the Mass, and
his prophecies are all time oriented. In Daniel chapter 9 we have
Daniel’s famous prophecy of “weeks.” In that
prophecy, each day is generally (and has always been) understood to
equal 1 year. The so-called “day for a year”
principle.

Daniel
9:25-26 “Know thou therefore, and take notice: that from the
going forth of the word, to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ
the prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks:
and the street shall be built again, and the walls in straitness of
times. And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and
the people that shall deny him shall not be his. And a people with
their leader shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary:
and the end thereof shall be laid waste, and after the end of the war
the appointed desolation.”

The seven weeks are not
repeated the second time, but the time interval is clearly intended
to be the sum of seven weeks plus sixty two weeks, i.e., 69 weeks
until the “slaying” or, as some translations have it, the
“cutting off” of the Messiah or the cutting off of the
Mass.

69 weeks equal 483 days (69
x 7). Based on the day for a year principle, the 483 days or 69 weeks
equal 483years.

Thefinal piece of
the puzzle is “fourfold”.

In Jewish law, the
perpetrator of the theft of a sheep must make restitution fourfold.

Exodus
22:1 “If any man steal
an ox or a sheep, and kill or sell it: he
shall restore five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.”
[8]

In the same way King David,
when he steals Uriah the Hittite’s wife and causes him
to be murdered, is told a parable by Nathan the Prophet. The parable
is about a rich man who upon encountering a stranger does not give
him sheep of his own flock, despite the fact that he has plenty, but
rather takes the single ewe lamb of a poor man and dresses it for the
stranger. And hearing this,

“David’s
anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan:
As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this is a child of death.
He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he
did this thing, and had no pity.” - 2 Kings 12:5-6

So the penalty for theft is
fourfold.

In the story of Zachaeus,
Zachaeus says to Jesus: “Behold Lord, the half of my goods I
give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from a man
by fraud, I restore him fourfold.”
- Luke 19:8

Lastly, and most
importantly, is the curse pronounced on the whore of Babylon.

“Render
to her as she also hath rendered to you; and double unto
her double according to her works:” - Apoc. 18:6

Double unto double is
fourfold.

The penalty for the theft of
a Lamb, for fraud (a false sacrifice) is fourfold.

Christ was slain on a
Passover. Therefore, the Mass would also be slain on a Passover.
The date of the Apostolic Constitution of Paul VI for the New Mass
was Passover April 3, 1969. The
New Mass is the Abomination of Desolation – the Abomination of
Desolation that was predicted by Daniel and mentioned by Our Lord
(Matt. 24:15) as one of the signs of the end.

Parallels with the Machabees

“Traditional”
Bishop Rifan Takes Part in the Abominable New Mass

1
Machabees 1:50-51 “And the king sent letters... that they…
should… let their souls be defiled with all uncleanness, and
abominations to the end that they should forget the law, and should
change all the justifications of God.”

In Campos, Brazil there
exists a prominent “traditional” group of priests that
was started many years ago by the late Bishop Castro De Mayer. The
group goes by the name “The Society of St. John Vianney.”
Bishop Castro De Mayer, who started the group, had been a friend of
Bishop Marcel Lefebvre, and was present when Bishop Lefebvre
consecrated the four Bishops of the Society of St. Pius X in 1988.
The Campos group of priests held a position that is similar to the
SSPX: it was independent of the Novus Ordo dioceses, even though it
was definitely not Sedevacantist and always recognized Antipope John
Paul II as the Pope.

The Campos group remained
independent of the Novus Ordo “Bishops,” even though it
recognized them as the legitimate hierarchy, because it criticized as
unacceptable many aspects of the New Mass and the Vatican II
religion. In fact, years ago the Campos group published a pamphlet
called “62 Reasons Why In Conscience, We Cannot Attend the New
Mass.” Having discouraged people from attending the New Mass,
the Campos group’s position was not compatible with approval by
the apostate Novus Ordo Bishops. As long as they held to such a
position, they would have to continue operating independently of John
Paul II and the Novus Ordo Bishops.

But, in 2002, the Society of
St. John Vianney (SSJV) changed its views. Perhaps perceiving the
fundamental contradiction, and the schismatic attitude, in its
position – and in the position of the SSPX – namely, to
operate completely independent of the hierarchy it recognizes as the
true Catholic hierarchy (when, in truth, it shouldn’t recognize
them as the true hierarchy at all), the SSJV came to apostate Rome
and John Paul II to be “reconciled.” Antipope John Paul
II and his “Cardinals” agreed to give the SSJV an
“Apostolic Administration” whereby they would be fully
“reconciled” and “recognized” by John Paul II
and the Novus Ordo sect, as long as the SSJV agreed to accept the
validity of the New Mass and that Vatican II is a true Council –
and, of course, that John Paul II is Pope. The full “reconciliation”
of this “traditionalist” group with the Novus Ordo sect
was praised by many false traditionalists who believed that this
group would get the “best of both worlds” (according to
them) – i.e., it would maintain its “traditionalism”
while also being recognized by Antipope John Paul II, their “Pope.”
The heretics Chris Ferrara and Thomas Woods expressed their approval
of the development with the SSJV in their heretical book, The
Great Façade.

Christopher
Ferrara and Thomas Woods, The Great Façade, p. 403:
“One encouraging development occurred early in 2002: the
erection of an apostolic administration for the traditionalist
Society of St. John Vianney (SSJV), an order of priests in Campos,
Brazil. The Pope granted to these priests the very canonical
structure we here suggest, permitting them to work and to expand
without (it would seem as of this writing) the consent of the local
diocesan bishop… It is highly significant for our thesis
that in order to be ‘reconciled’ with Rome and ‘end
the schism,’ SSJV had merely to affirm what it never denied in
the first place: that John Paul II is the Pope, that the Mass of Paul
VI (when correctly celebrated according to the proper intention) is
valid, that Vatican II is a Council of the Church, and
that open questions are to be studied with humility and charity.…”
(emphasis mine)

Please notice how
inextricably bound up are 1) acceptance that John Paul II is the Pope
and 2) the acceptance of Vatican II and the New Mass. If you accept #
1, then you must accept # 2, as this instance proves again. Vatican
II is the official Council and teaching of the “Church”
of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francic I etc.; and the New Mass is
an official rite of the “Church” of John Paul II,
Benedict XVI, Francic etc. That is why John Paul II and his apostate
“Bishops” will not recognize those persons who don’t
accept the legitimacy and validity of these two things as “Catholics
in full communion” with them. That is precisely why the SSJV
had to accept these things to get full “approval” from
the Vatican II sect.

So, in 2002, the SSJV
completely sold its soul and gave in to apostate Rome. Though
the SSJV did not yet celebrate the New Mass, some predicted that it
would only be a short time before its priests did. (But after already
having recognized that the New Mass is a legitimate rite that may be
attended, why would they be opposed to offering it themselves?) The
selling-of-their-souls out to the New Mass would not come in
the future when they finally offered it; it already came when
they accepted it as legitimate.

Thus, on September 8, 2004,
the apostate Bishop Rifan of the SSJV carried his heretical position
to its logical conclusion and he concelebrated an invalid New Mass,
which adulterated the words of Christ (using “shed for you and
for all so that sins may be forgiven” in the Consecration) –
and contained numerous other abominations, including laywomen giving
out the Novus Ordo cookie; a speech by a Marxist; and other
pagan-like abominations so common at the Novus Ordo.

All of this is strikingly
reminiscent of the story in the Machabees. In the books of the
Machabees, we are told the story of how the wicked King Antiochus
took over the children of Israel, imposed upon them a new religion of
idolatry, changed their traditions, and forced them to accept the new
religion. There are striking parallels to our own situation in this
history, including in regard to compromising false traditionalists.

1
Machabees 1:41 ff. “Her sanctuary was desolate like a
wilderness, her festival days were turned into mourning, her sabbaths
into reproach, her honors were brought to nothing… And
King Antiochus wrote to all his kingdom, that all the people should
be one: and every one should leave his own law. And all nations
consented, according to the word of King Antiochus. And many of
Israel consented to his service [read: the New Mass], and they
sacrificed to idols, and profaned the Sabbath. And the
king sent letters… that they… should forbid holocausts
and sacrifices [read: the Traditional Mass]… and let their
souls be defiled with all uncleanness, and abominations to the end
that they should forget the law, and should change all the
justifications of God [read: the immodesty and sexual immorality
prevalent among self-professed Christians that makes them forget
about God’s Holy Laws]… Then many of the people were
gathered to them that had forsaken the law of the Lord: and they
committed evils in the land: And they drove away the people of
Israel into lurking holes, and into the secret places of fugitives
[read: independent of the dioceses]. On the fifteenth day of the
month, Casleu, in the hundred and forty-fifth year, king Antiochus
set up the abominable idol of desolation upon the altar of God [read:
the New Mass], and they built altars throughout all the cities of
Juda round about…”

Those who resisted the new
religion were led by Judas Machabeus and his supporters; and they
made no compromise with the wicked usurpers. But some of the
Machabees were led to their deaths by being deceived by the
“peaceable” words spoken by the supporters of King
Antiochus. Please read the following and tell me if it is not a
description of the SSJV and the SSPX and like-minded false
traditionalists, who listen to the “peaceable words and deals”
offered to them by the apostate “Bishops” in Rome, such
as Ratzinger, Castrillon-Hoyos, etc. – and are led to their
spiritual deaths as a result.

1
Machabees 7:10-17 “And they arose, and came with a great army
into the land of Juda: and they sent messengers, and spoke to
Judas and his brethren with peaceable words, deceitfully. But
they [Judas and his brethren] gave no heed to their words: for they
saw that they were come with a great army. Then there assembled to
Alcimus and Bacchides a company of the scribes, to require things
that are just: And first the Assideans, that were among the
children of Israel, and they sought peace of them.For they
said: One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come [read: a
dignitary of the Vatican], he will not deceive us. And he spoke to
them peaceably: and he swore to them, saying: We will
do you no harm, nor your friends [read: we will allow you to keep
your traditional Mass, just accept us]. And they believed him.
And he took threescore of them, and slew them in one day…”

We see that Bishop Rifan of
the SSJV is one such victim. But here are the words of a recent
interview of Bishop Fellay of the SSPX, regarding his continuing
discussion with “reconciling” with Rome [read: King
Antiochus].

The
Angelus, August 2004, pp. 2-3: “Q. In this interview for
Latin Mass Magazine, Cardinal Castrillon-Hoyos does more
than just stretch out a hand to the faithful attached to Tradition,
he affirms that the Holy Father holds his arms open. Aren’t you
touched by such a generous offer? [Bishop Fellay’s Answer]:
I am very much touched by this gesture and do not doubt the
generosity behind it…”

Notice how similar Bishop
Fellay’s attitude is to that of the compromising Machabees.
Rome “does more than just stretch out a hand to the faithful
attached to Tradition… Aren’t you touched by such a
generous offer?” “I am,” says Bishop Fellay.
(If Bishop Fellay were Catholic, he would denounce the Novus Ordo
Bishops and John Paul II as heretics who possess no authority to
offer anyone anything.)

We see that the people who
wanted to compromise with the representatives of Antiochus –
the people who listened to their “peaceable” words and
believed them to be their friends – were slain, just like the
false traditionalists of the SSJV, the SSPX, etc. are spiritually
slain by obstinately recognizing as Catholics, rather than denouncing
as apostate non-Catholics, John Paul II (Benedict XVI, Francis I
etc.) and his Novus Ordo Bishops. [One also cannot ignore the
absurdity of a group like the SSPX “making deals” with
the hierarchy it recognizes as the “Catholic hierarchy.”
This shows again that the SSPX is schismatic; they won’t
submit to the hierarchy they think (wrongly) is the “Catholic
hierarchy” until the “hierarchy of the Catholic
Church” gives the SSPX what it wants! Any sincere person
who considers this carefully will see how absurd it is.]
